I can also recommend Textmate as general purpose editor. I use it more or less for everything (from writing LaTeX to coding).

For small projects and for projects I want to be able to have a repository on the go I also use Mercurial as version control system (I'm also currently checking out bzr as an alternative for Mercurial).

Does anyone use (corel) paint shop pro 10 at all? What's so much better about photoshop? I've avoided it due to the hefty price tag and I feel I can produce graphics on a par with those in the contest forums, but is there any serious advantage to using photoshop that I'm just completely missing?
